The Unicode byte order mark (BOM) is serialized as follows (in hexadecimal):
/// <summary>
/// Determines a text file's encoding by analyzing its byte order mark (BOM).
/// Defaults to ASCII when detection of the text file's endianness fails.
/// </summary>
/// <param name="filename">The text file to analyze.</param>
/// <returns>The detected encoding.</returns>
public static Encoding GetEncoding(string filename)
{
// Read the BOM
var bom = new byte[4];
using (var file = new FileStream(filename, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
{
file.Read(bom, 0, 4);
}
// Analyze the BOM
if (bom[0] == 0x2b && bom[1] == 0x2f && bom[2] == 0x76) return Encoding.UTF7;
if (bom[0] == 0xef && bom[1] == 0xbb && bom[2] == 0xbf) return Encoding.UTF8;
if (bom[0] == 0xff && bom[1] == 0xfe && bom[2] == 0 && bom[3] == 0) return Encoding.UTF32; //UTF-32LE
if (bom[0] == 0xff && bom[1] == 0xfe) return Encoding.Unicode; //UTF-16LE
if (bom[0] == 0xfe && bom[1] == 0xff) return Encoding.BigEndianUnicode; //UTF-16BE
if (bom[0] == 0 && bom[1] == 0 && bom[2] == 0xfe && bom[3] == 0xff) return new UTF32Encoding(true, true); //UTF-32BE
// We actually have no idea what the encoding is if we reach this point, so
// you may wish to return null instead of defaulting to ASCII
return Encoding.ASCII;
}
The implementation of
StreamSource
that we currently have, does not handle BOM in the file preamble when it reads the stream, consequently the API is not usable for reading files as-is. It must auto-detect encoding similarly toSystem.IO.StreamReader
.See BOM detection below.
